Monk -- Gear what should I look for?

magnetism · 07-26-2002, 01:56 PM

I have a new monk pure ( may take 1 lvl rogue )
lvl 6

Str 16(17)
Dex 14
Con 14
Wis 10
Int 10
Chr 10

I have
Boots sun sole +2,
Armour sun sole +2,
Gloves discipline,
Cloak ( its grey ^_^ )
Gladiators club for dr creatures

I am thinking:
Armor?
Watchmans helm -- true seeing.
Girdle of Giant str.
Boots of speed ?any other good boots?
Armor? the Monk DR armour?
Cloak of Movement

Weapons?
Monk gauntlets?

Jewlery?
Amulet of health..
Ring of Elemental resistance
Ring of Protection

Let me know what you think...

Why did you chop your Wisdom? I don't think you ever lose your wisdom bonus by being flat-footed or flanked, like you do a dexterity bonus.

And why the emphasis on strength? You can always take "weapon finess" to use your dex as the mod and drop your strength to 10 and bump your dex UP.

Anyway, you equipment looks fine. You'll find plenty of monk equipment as you progress, so don't worry about purchasing any more.

not to mention that the monk gets his wisdom bonus to his ac. monks are AWESOME!!!

There are some Monk specific boots that go +1-+5 and there are 2 Monk specific Gauntlets that go +1-+5

So for boots and Gloves your monk should be set [img]smile.gif[/img]

Robes of the Dark Moon or (Improved) Robes of the Old Order are both awesome. The Moon robes grant you haste, the Old Order robes grant you minor damage reduction.

Personally, I prefer the Dark Moon robes (7 attacks at 1d20+2+1d6 per attack with Haste and Flurry of Blows!)

That "bloodsometing" crossbow in act2 + 5 of haste
